The whole point of the three body problem series being a Chinese sci-fi is that it is the future envisioned by Chinese intellectuals. They really think that in case of an alien invasion United Nations will direct a centralized commission based human response.
Disliking three body problem for the reasons you mentioned is like disliking 1984 because it had too much of totalitarianism for your taste.
Yes, yes, yes. My advisor would have laughed me out of the room if I brought this narrative to her.
You are certainly not wrong. In this specific case however, I'd like to point out that the author, leonerd, has been busily working on "making stuff" to this end for years now.

They are the lead author of libvterm, a popular modular terminal emulator library that is for example used in neovim and emacs-libvterm.

They have also been working on libtermkey, a library that accepts input from the divised keybinding system, now part of libtickit mentioned in the post.

What a joke. How many studies have been done on the negative effects of alcohol with no comment on the "importance for countries who have already legalised" recreational alcohol use?

Why? REST doesn't have anything to say about this. You can design your application however you prefer, and publish input and output specs however you prefer, without tailoring your application to the HTTP layer.
All of those things may be true. But the findings may also be true (just not supported by this particular study).

It’s pretty hard to overstate how relatively safe modern life is, even modern cities that are considered unsafe.

Heck, in Ancient Rome being out after night fall was considered a death sentence. Aside from the high murder rate, that’s when all the supply carts arrived. Being on foot surrounded by carts before the invention of consistent urban lighting was a very dicey proposition.

I find it hard to believe that a study can conclusively establish these relatively subtle effects when it took many decades to causally connect tobacco smoking to cancer.
Hm, good points. But maybe we should at least raise the minimum age ? ( I feel the same about minimum age of gun ownership ... don’t ban guns but raise the age ... how many school shootings are committed by 25 year olds? I digress)
Maybe the problem is trying to frame something as complex as drugs as good or bad.

We know there is an effect. That's why people use them. Seems to miss the point to just say "this is harm" and ignore whatever factors would influence the decision to use.

Why is that prescription drugs come with a long list of "side effects" but most of society doesn't see the "harm" in those?
I quit smoking because I was getting gum infections all the time. It wasn't the only reason, just that last one that pushed me to quit. Inflamed gums don't feel so good.

I still have a recessed gum line around a tooth where I would hold the cigarette. I have to believe that hot smoke from a joint causes the same type of irritation to tissue.
He said that OWS was primarily Democrats, not that they controlled the party.
Interesting take. I have a working thesis that if a person believes something will happen "inevitably" then that person will have a greater disposition to do horrific things in the name of "inevitability". Zizek has pointed out that the belief in the inevitability of global communism allowed hard core communists to commit atrocities. Communism worked through them, they believed. Capitalists do something similar when they help destroy the environment or help exploit workers. They believe that if they don't do it then someone else will.
I like the question, but I'm not sure I have an answer :)

You have a lot of faith in a bunch of people not wanting to realize their profits on a stock that everyone knows is going to tank sooner or later. I'm sure some of them who got in on the run early won't make a dime because they'll hold on too long and then not give up even on the way back down, but some will want to make sure it's real money for them and then this thing is going to go down fast.
Ability to get fuel for the car should not be dependent on price. If EVs are going to go mainstream it can't be.

Something tells me that this study isn't representative of people outside of 'Australian high school students aged 15 in 1992'.

My take away, make sure you are on a career path before you start your pot habit.
The study may be bullshit but the findings may still be accurate. We’ll know in 20 years after a plethora of better studies are completed, the impetus of which is the legalization all over the USA.
I think they pointed out that based on their experience, it's probably not even possible to separate correlation from causation cleanly and I think I agree. Even though I never smoked I spent a lot of time around people who did and I could have told you even at age 14 before they took their first puff that they were, on average, much more likely to exhibit some of the things the study listed as "findings" like "more likely not to have a job", etc.
A stock's fundamental value is based on current Shareholders Equity (SE) + future earnings potential. Dividends and share buybacks are just a way to return Shareholders Equity to the shareholder.

In Dec 2018, MSFT had 92B of SE with a market cap of 1.2T. In Dec 2020, MSFT had 130B of SE with a market cap of 1.7T. They earned money which added to their SE, and they returned some SE to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks over those 2 years.

If in Dec 2020 MSFT sold all of its assets, settled all of its liabilities, and closed its doors, it would theoretically be able to pay 130B in dividends to shareholders. The share price would drop by 92% (1 - 130B/1.7T).

So 92% of its share price is based on its future earning potential. This number goes up or down as the market expectations for their future earnings potential goes up or down.

Dividends reduce SE, which is typically why the share price drops by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date. Share buybacks reduce SE and reduce the number of shares outstanding, which increases each Shareholder's equity stake.

GMEs share price is out-of-whack because some market participants are making decisions based off what they believe the fundamental value to be, and other market participants are ignoring the fundamentals and buying at any price.
A reasonable number of upper-middle-class American professionals have that kind of money. Maybe not always in cash, but it's far from an implausible amount.

One buys a stock on the premise that someone else will pay more for it in the future.

Most of the time the future is years down the road, because you made a good bet on what business would be profitable. Sometimes the future is the following Tuesday because someone got out over their skis and _needs_ your stock now.

> it may make more economic sense for some of those losers to declare bankruptcy instead.

This is a thing that goes against the narrative here, where the narrative is "Melvin has $13B, we can take it all!". Even if you assume that is true, and you can somehow push this already $25B cap company high enough, there isn't enough money in that $13B to allow all shares of GME to sell at the current price.

If the entire premise here is "Melvin is screwed, we have him by the balls, and he has $13B", then it seems that the max would be... $13B. Past that, you're no longer "taking from Melvin"; you're taking from the people who don't get out before you do.

There is no bankrupcy judge in the world that will say "Okay Melvin, sorry, but you owe WSB a thousand trillion dollars".
The whole situation sucks. The US Tesla connector can only do single-phase AC charging, which makes it suboptimal for other countries and not fantastic for US commercial installations. The Tesla EU connector is a real standard and can do 3-phase charging. For reasons I haven’t fully deciphered (technical or regulatory?), EU Model 3 cars seem to use the CCS combo connector for supercharging, which is standardized but ugly and heavy. EU Model S cars use the regular (non-combo) adapter in a proprietary mode.

So there is an unnecessary difference between US and EU cars, even from the same manufacturer.
I doubt that.

I live in Sydney and all the people I know who smoke weed have jobs. I’m not sure how much they indulge but the illegality does not really pose a problem and I’ve never seen anyone deterred because of that.

In certain areas you can smell it regularly. There was one street I used to walk down after work and the residents would be smoking weed everyday at the same time.

Legal status is not stopping anyone.

Indian doctor here. We give Albendazole tablets away for free. Maybe you can take a flight, buy a bunch of these tablets from the local pharmacy, and go sell them for half the price you are putting on your low-cost website.
Absolutely correct. The cows remain 100. When I said buy 200 cows back, I meant by the 100 cows TWICE. Buy them, give them back to the second person you borrowed them from, then buy them again, and give them back to the person you borrowed them from originally.

Sorry for making it confusing in my attempt to simplify it.

It's not faith, it's called experience. Every single one of my friends that regularly smoked weed, regardless of social or economic status, ended up using harder drugs. Despite the fact that we had a very strong culture of looking down on people using hard drugs as junkies. But sure, I have to deny my own senses, because they're not peer-reviewed and I should smoke weed by default until some scientists will tell me otherwise.

> This is why the concept of Beans bothers me. A Bean is a stateful object that throws its state into your face, and forces you to directly manage it.

I disagree.

Beans are Java's version of the ideas expressed in Visual Basic and, later, COM -- ideas often called something like "software componentry". They are objects that can be instantiated and configured without having to write custom code to invoke their methods, because the instantiation and configuration follow accepted standards, as well as the means by which they register to subscribe to and publish events. This lets them be instantiated and manipulated by other tools in the pipeline, such as a GUI builder tool or an automatic configurator like the one in Spring Framework.

I used to use indica to sleep, due to absurd levels of restless leg that only kick in as soon as I lie down. Then a physician friend recommended trazodone.

I really enjoyed being able to dream again. I hadn't quite noticed that I had basically entirely stopped dreaming when using pot. And mostly, I like being able to smoke purely recreationally and sporadically, not relying on it medicinally and regularly.

Esteem from your work comrades, who share your work environment and it's challenges, is not to be taken lightly . . . you have excelled, given what you have to work with.

Personally, I thought in my younger years, that I could understand anything, given enough study time.

Further, I thought I could (probably) suggest innovations, if circumstances permitted, after that time of study.

I'm older now . . . and realize that I can both contribute to innovation . . . and stand aside in admiration when others innovate without my input.

There's a certain utility in that. No one can do it all; time is limited . . .
Or we could simply ban short. This has been discussed regularly since they were allowed in the 30s.

Shorts have pretty much no legitimate use after all. They are only useful to speculate and speculation itself is mostly a useless by-product of the way markets operate.

People like to argue that speculation helps with price discovery and brings liquidity. I would answer that the marginal improvement it brings would be pointless if markets were solely focused on their original goal: allowing people to trade voting shares into companies they want to invest in. The premium speculators are allowed to extract on the economy for what they do speaks volumes about how rotten the whole system is. Let's never forget that by its own rules the whole thing should have crashed and burned during the 2008 crisis.
Some trades are strategy and some are tactics. This is the latter.

Of course it does, because GraphQL allows you to roll up queries for separate entities and get the data back for those in a single HTTP request. And that capability is something Relay and Apollo take advantage of. In this way a component can reference only the data it needs and the query rollup and caching happens automatically.

> but just like with alcohol or smoking it almost surely isn't good for you

I dont think we should compare the two so blithley. We have very strong evidence alcohol and tobacco is super bad for you, especially if you use it constantly. We have what is basically conjecture, rat studies, and correlation that doesnt paticularly control for confounding factors for marijuana [despite a concerted political effort to make it scary]. That doesn't make it "safe" but its just as wrong if not more so to say its comparable to things which we are very sure are unsafe.

So backend and frontend must have a wholly compatible type system? Even good old WSDL only got 90% of the way there. Keep going with fancier approaches and you end up looking at CORBA and its ilk.
It's funny because a few years ago I read about how the developers of a game from the same studio -- specifically StarCraft -- ran into the exact same problems I did when trying to write a game in the then-common "bag of subclassed game objects framework" in the 90s. To this day I thank the gods that I chose ECS for my latest game because it has made changes, bugfixes, and extensions of functionality so much easier. To say nothing of more data-driven.
Exactly! The bet has been people aren't capable of coordinating in large numbers to take advantage of this so it's not really broken. Now that they are it's officially broken and will be reviewed.

I am surprised people have high expectations from memristors. They are just another way to build an analog computer -- better for machine learning, worse for classical ODEs.

But we have not used analog computers for 50 years, and for a good reason -- they are not reproducible, their accuracy is very process dependent and has a hard upper limit, and they are often tuned for a single function.

Would people want a chip which is basically unpredictable -- the performance can vary up by tens of %, they have to be re-trained periodically to prevent data loss, and there is no way to load pre-trained network? I doubt it. Maybe there is an extremely narrow use case, but I do not see it in the mainstream devices.
> Compared to non-users, regular cannabis users were more likely to ... not be in a relationship at age 35

In 20 years of various relationships, the only girlfriend who didn’t request that I quit smoking weed was extremely naughty and experimented with all kinds of substances, as she completed her residency at a children’s hospital. She married someone with more money, God help him.

So, it doesn’t surprise me that people not in a relationship tend to smoke more weed.
Many years ago, I used to contemplate how much data you could store on a piece of paper with a laser printer. Like a QR code but optimized as much as possible. I only got as far as figuring out how to address a page as a bitmap at full resolution, because I'm not good at algorithms.

I was reading today Wikipedia about Turbo Codes, Viterbi encoding and similar things and it would be interesting to me to read how a very smart person would solve the problem of maximizing data stored on paper with reasonable error correction.

That's called anecdotes, and I have exactly the opposite experience in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Germany - maybe there's a cultural factor rather than something intrinsic to cannabis?

So, who's right now? By what process should we try to get to the bottom of this?

As a thought experiment, consider if coffee (caffeine is very much an addictive mind altering substance that can be harmful in large doses) were illegal and bought and used the same way people use cannabis. So you go to your coffee dealer, and he offers you some weed. Do you try it? Maybe. Ok, now he offers you some heroin. This is where studies should step in, but my not very meaningful belief / gut feeling is that most people will say holy crap, no thanks man, I just wanted my boring old beans and weed. This has been my experience (and that of people I know) for decades, and again I'd like to stress that that doesn't necessarily imply a great many general statements I might wish to conclude from it, no matter how "obvious" it seems to me.
